SASKATOON, Saskatchewan–()–ZYUS Life Sciences Inc. (“ZYUS”), a Canadian life sciences company leading scientific research and development in phyto-therapeutics, is pleased to announce that it has entered a new non-exclusive, multiyear agreement with Australian medical cannabis importer, HHI (Australia) Pty Ltd (“Health House”), to sell and distribute ZYUS’ cannabinoid formulations to medical patients through wholesale agents, such as pharmacies and hospitals. The agreement covers cannabinoid formulations including oils, as well as future product categories when they become available, with supply expected to hit the Australian market as early as the second half of 2021.

ZYUS is leveraging science to advance the clinical understanding of cannabinoids and their role of pain management. In late 2020, ZYUS launched direct sales and distribution of its products to registered patients across Canada, and this new agreement with Health House will be the first time ZYUS products will be available to medical patients internationally — an important milestone in ZYUS’ strategy of rapidly increasing product distribution internationally.

ZYUS is committed to developing the highest quality products, which are manufactured based on GMP standards to ensure consistency in therapeutic formulations. Three of ZYUS’ cannabinoid formulations will initially be available in Australia as part of this partnership, including a balanced CBD/THC-based oil, a high CBD oil and a high THC oil, and expand to include topicals once available.

“At ZYUS, we believe there is no mission more important than to improve quality of life for the millions suffering from physical and emotional pain, and we are proud to partner with Health House to unlock the extraordinary potential of plant-made therapeutics for patients in Australia,” said ZYUS CEO Brent Zettl. “Health House shares many of ZYUS’ values and have become pioneers in the Australian medical cannabis industry with the shared belief in the future of plant-made therapeutics. We are looking forward to working with them to help patients across the country.”

“More than three million Australians suffer from pain, leading to reduced productivity, happiness and overall well-being, without a solution. Pain management is a key area to apply the therapeutic use of plant-made medicines to truly make a difference,” said Paul Mavor, Pharmacist, Health House. “ZYUS has charted a successful course to improve patient quality of life through its products and long-standing industry leadership, and Health House is excited to be able to open the door for patients in Australia to get the relief they need.”
